This detail of "Untitled" by Keith Haring in City Garden was taken from a vantage point just a few feet away from my last post, "Arch and Old Courthouse In Dark City". The faint detail in he middle is the top of the Old Courthouse. Pete Turner used to pump up the saturation and contrast of his pictures by making multiple generations of Kodachrome dupes. I did the same thing here using Nik Color Efex Pro to convert the picture to Kodachome 64 Professional twice.
The Tintype preset for Nik Silver Efex Pro 2 uses a sharp blue filter to emulate the vintage process. The result here feels very Zen-like to me.
This is the first generation Kodachrome conversion and the basis for all the monochrome conversions.
Nik Silver Efex Pro 2 has a vintage preset called Yellow 2 that I've uses a few times now. I like the dingy yet glowing feel it can impart.
This cyanotype conversion has the longest tonal scale of any of the processes I used.
Finally, this partial solarization made in Nik Color Efex Pro was split toned sepia with blue shadows in Lightroom 3.
